Reflection X dtterm error

Hi All
I facing problem in Reflextion X dtterm like I am using Reflection X window system Version (RX32 V6.2).
I am able to type commands in the dtterm, when i typed the commands mistakenly
For example
I typed "claer" instead of "clear" so I press backspace to earse the command or make it as correct but its not happening instead i am getting the following [ ^?^?^? ] symbole.
As per my knowledge we can make correct by using stty command or trap command. If i am correct please guide me in this regard.

Thanks in Advance

stty erase ^?

you type:
stty erase
then hit the backspace key wich displays teh ^?

when you hit the backspace key now it will erase

Try this:
1) Open Reflection "X client Manager"
2) Select "settings" and then "keyboard"
3) Under "options" uncheck the box which says "Backspace key sends delete"
4) Apply the change and close.
5) Test the result on a new session.

That may solve the issue.

in a similar line
add
stty susp ^Z
to you .profile
You can type the Shift 6 Z,
this will allow you to put tasks in the bg to be fg later.
You can add the stty erase ^? there too if you don't like the reflection config fix
